Notes

"There is an article which I have not seen called Kentucky Kin,
Jan 24, 1936, in the Louisville Hearld Post which also describes
this family. His pension application which describes his
service as a courier to General Washington. He was 16 when he
enlisted. He married Marley P. Walthall after the death of Mary
Chilton Graves. Indeed, he died in the home of his daughter
Catherine Winfrey, and Marley Graves signed a release on all
claims of his estate, although she continued to receive his
revolutionary pension."

Notes

May be SCOTT - Scotts were also in County Down, Ireland, and in
Kingstree, SC in 1730. Any Clues appreciated. This would
explain the use of SCOTT as a middle name for our DAVID, son of
Nathaniel. Scott was used in McCants and McKnealy lines for
several generations. Scotts migrated with our DAVID Scott
McCants to Feliciana Parish, LA and were neighbors.

The problem with Martha Jane Scott as mother of our Nathaniel is
his birth date abt 1745, and 2nd marriage of his father James to
Martha Jane Scott about 1761.(date of marriage is surmised from
record showing transfer of her Jackson estate to James McCants)

States that James 2nd marriage in 1761 to Martha Jackson (nee
Scott), widow of William Jackson, that no Jackson children are
mentioned and no children born to James and Martha.
1st wife 1740 was Agnes Donnally and there were six children.
3rd Wife was Agnes Munnerlyn d. 1782. Property left to Agnes
and beloved son James. (this is the James that went with David
Scott McCants to LA - never m. and d there in 1816 - estated
records named all sibs as heirs.)
